Getting Application Developers Onboard the DevOps Train
Exceptional businesses understand that frequent delivery cycles can be leveraged as a competitive advantage. This has been a primary driver in the evolution and importance of DevOps culture and processes. A group that often suffers from a lack of urgency in delivering more value more frequently is the people writing the code. It seems ironic as software developers often state that they are most satisfied when their code is being used. A healthy DevOps culture requires willing participants from all constituents. While one would think that development teams having a seat at the table participating in seeing their efforts come to life – delivering business value – is great, it’s often the case that they’re really not all that interested in the details of actually deploying their code. Ray Elenteny has been struggling with this dilemma for several years. He’ll be the first one to say that he doesn’t have all the answers, but he can attest to practices that do work in helping development teams understand the many facets in frequently delivering business value. Join Ray as he shares what he’s learned and outlines practical and pragmatic tools and processes that help get those development teams onboard the DevOps train.
